Serge Aurier, an Ivorian footballer with 93 international caps and a former PSG player, turned down an offer from Olympique Marseille. Although he has been without a club since departing Galatasaray in January 2024, Aurier conveyed his unwavering loyalty to PSG, indicating that he would prefer to endure hardship rather than join Marseille. During a podcast, when questioned about following the path of his former teammate Adrien Rabiot, who transferred to Marseille in 2024, Aurier revealed that he did receive a proposal from Marseille, which was communicated by their sporting director, Mehdi Benatia. Aurier decisively declined the offer, underscoring his allegiance to PSG and his refusal to ever play for Marseille, despite his free agent status. His remarks were widely reported by the Brazilian sports outlet, Globoesporte, which underscored his strong commitment to PSG.
